Novell Access Manager 3 is designed to work seamlessly with a customer's existing IT environment. It has been enhanced to include native support for a broad range of platforms and directory services to provide a single, centralized and secure access management solution for the enterprise. It features the following benefits:

Accessibility without vulnerability – grant secure, hassle-free access to Web and enterprise applications based on the user's role within a company or their association to it.

Regulatory Compliance – generate reports that detail access events across the network, such as who authenticated to a particular resource and when the resource was accessed.

Centralized Administration – eliminate the need for multiple, disparate administration tools and reduce the time and cost associated with managing user access.

“We salute Novell for releasing a product that helps advance open federation and Web services based on Liberty’s secure and privacy-respecting identity standards,” said George Goodman president of the Liberty Alliance management board and director of the platform capabilities lab at Intel. “Liberty-based products are helping to build a more trusted Internet for consumers, citizens, governments and businesses worldwide.”

“A comprehensive approach to access management is a must for any organization that faces regulatory or corporate governance challenges,” said Kent Erickson, vice president and general manager for identity and security management at Novell. “With Novell Access Manager 3, you can not only deliver stronger security controls, including for the partners and customers that make up your extended enterprise, but also simplify access and improve productivity while saving time and money.”
